Using the ScanLife application, Sprint customers can scan the barcode and be sent to a Web site on their Sprint phone that will contain, if found, pricing, availability and additional product information. For example, a 2D barcode appearing on a movie poster can deliver Sprint customers to a Web site with information on the film, movie locations and ticket prices when scanned with the ScanLife application. This eliminates the need to type Web addresses or search for content by keywords.

Sprint data subscribers can easily download the application for no additional charge by going to the mobile Web on their Sprint phone, selecting Downloads and typing ScanLife in the Search box, or by typing www.getscanlife.com in the phone’s mobile Web address bar. Users can also receive the application download information by texting ‘SCAN’ to 70734.
